Pros

I'm always proud to say I work for Booz Allen. In my 2 years working at BAH I have had very good experiences and at time when most companies are laying people off and cancelling holiday parties BAH is still going strong. I find that the morale is usually high and my BAH collegues are all high achievers. I like the 360 degree review process, where not only your supervisor reviews you but also your collegues and clients. We are also evaluated on how we give back to the company (although some may think this is a con, because it would require them to do things outside their normal work day). I have always been a believer that what you get out of something depends on what you put into it....and this is exactly what BAH is about. BAH gives the opportunity for an employee to name their own price, to name their own level.

Cons

Booz Allen is not for everyone. There is a certain "fit" for Booz Allen. From what I've seen, people who don't fit in with the core values of the company tend not to have a very good experience. Employees that do well here usually like a challenging work environment and like to participate in the extra-curricular work and activities, social networking events, brown bag lunches, training opportunities...etc

Pros

It has been mine and several of my colleagues experience that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. Age and experience are less important than how well you're doing (how much impact are you having) - that's refreshing and seems to be different from many other companies. Benefits are fabulous. There is a lot of flexibility in terms of flex-time. Hours can be "flexed" over an entire month and for the most part, those week to week changes can be handled informally without too much coordination and documentation.

Cons

The career model is outdated - it desperately needs updating to account for those who do not want to pound the streets building the business. Salary structures, advancement to Sr. Associate and beyond are still very vague. There is a large amount of grey in the areas of promotion - it's largely who you know and who knows you.
